CAPACITY, INVESTMENT AND OPERATING COSTS OF BUS, TRAM, AND URBAN AND SUBURBAN RAILWAY SYSTEMS

LEISTUNGSFAEHIGKEITEN, INVESTITIONS- UND BETRIEBSKOSTEN VON BUS-, STRASSENBAHN- UND STADTBAHNSYSTEMEN

This comparative study of capacity, investment and operating costs of bus, tram and urban and suburban railway systems uses "operating costs per passenger" as the reference parameter. By reasonable standards it is calculated that 3,000 passengers can be carried per hour at 2 minute intervals by bus, 5,000 passengers per hour at 3 minute intervals by tram and 7,320 passengers per hour at 3 minute intervals by urban and suburban railways (S-Bahn). After accounting for rolling stock and operating costs, the author arrives (for an annual total of 55,000 km) at an annual figure in terms of operating costs per passenger per year of 2,590 DM for buses, 3,800 DM for trams and 5,400 DM urban and suburban railways.
